How to learn olympiad in junior grades has always been a problem that puzzles parents. How to arrange the study of Olympic Mathematics in the next semester, and how to lay a solid foundation for the study of lower grades in the future?
Grade one: Interest cultivation stage
Learning in the first grade of primary school should focus on cultivating interest. Only by cultivating good learning interest and good thinking habits in the lower grades can we make faster progress in future study.
At this stage, what children need to accumulate is simple operation knowledge and rules, simple graphic understanding and analysis ability, looking for rules, and letting children learn a tried method and simple logical reasoning ability.
In class, we want them to learn knowledge and feel relaxed and interesting, so we use different teaching methods to teach them, taking stories, poems and riddles as carriers. For children, learning is fun, not as boring as you think. Let's talk specifically about the methods and suggestions for first-grade children to learn Olympic Mathematics:
1, contact with the Olympiad, interest first.
We have come into contact with many students in Grade 4 and Grade 5 who want to start learning Chinese mathematics. Surprisingly, quite a few of these students did study Olympiad in the lower grades, but gave up because of the poor learning effect in class at that time. In the senior year, I had to learn it again because of the situation in junior high school. For such students, learning Olympic Mathematics has a certain shadow, and even some students still hold the idea that they are not suitable for learning Olympic Mathematics and have certain resistance.
Therefore, since parents have decided to learn Olympic Mathematics from the lower grades, they should first pay attention to the cultivation of interest and help them find something they are interested in mathematics, such as number games and so on.
2. Find a child's favorite teacher.
As I have just come into contact with the Olympic Mathematics, my interest is the first, so finding a teacher that my child likes is the most important thing in learning. A good teacher can make children like classes quickly and infect students with their own personality charm. In class, the teacher is not only the children's teacher, but also the children's friend. We discuss problems with children and think together, so that children can develop good study habits and like math while enjoying their teachers.
3. Use a set of most authoritative teaching materials.
The teaching material used in the Olympic Mathematics course is Olympic Mathematics (hereinafter referred to as "Olympic Mathematics"), which is the most systematic and longest-used teaching material. Through long-term study of Olympic Mathematics, students' mathematics learning ability and quality can be cultivated, and their thinking ability and intellectual potential can be well developed, which is favored by many students with spare capacity and interest in learning. The course of Olympic Mathematics can make your children "open their minds and enter the door of solving problems", helping them to lay a solid foundation and climb the peak of mathematics!
4. Start from the most suitable starting point.
I just came into contact with the Olympiad, and I don't understand that it's not that children are not suitable for learning mathematics, but that the starting point is not suitable. For example, the Olympic Mathematics textbook is a very good textbook, but a lot of knowledge in the textbook is ahead of the school textbook. If it is not used well, it is easy to dampen children's enthusiasm and self-confidence, which is one of the main reasons why many children don't like and hate mathematics at present.
Analysis of key points and difficulties in learning;
1. Basic knowledge of clever calculation and fast calculation: For first-year students, calculation is the first problem that students encounter when they study. If we can find some rules in the seemingly chaotic formula and simplify it, then students will definitely enhance their confidence and interest in learning mathematics. In addition, calculation and quick calculation are the basis of learning various follow-up questions. To learn mathematics well, you must first pass the calculation.
2. Know and learn to count various basic figures: square, cuboid, circle and cube are the most common figures in primary school learning. Through systematic guidance, first-year students can calculate the number of various basic graphics; Enable students to establish orderly thinking and lay the foundation for establishing thinking mode.
3. Learn simple enumeration method: enumeration method is really difficult for first-year students. In the teaching materials of Olympic Mathematics, this difficult problem is introduced in a more intuitive counting way, and the complex and abstract problems are visualized for children to understand. The training of enumeration method focuses on orderly thinking mode, and visualizing abstract problems at the beginning of learning can better guide students to think positively and establish their own thinking mode.
4. Basic knowledge of number theory, such as parity, inequality, phase, etc. The problem of number theory is a key point in the follow-up study, and what we are going to learn this semester, such as parity, inequality, phase, etc., is undoubtedly the basis for future study. Here we break down the problems of number theory into various types and explain them one by one, so as to make the study of Olympic mathematics more systematic.
